Element

Derived: Simple, Label, Button, TextBox, Scrollbar

UI.Element is the base class for all UI elements / controls. It manages UnityEngine.GameObject and its RectTransform, provides layout settings and basic AddElement to add child elements. All elements must ultimately be hosted inside UI.Window.

Instance Properties:

• GameObject: GameObject - [Unsafe] Unity API Game object of the content.
• RootObject: GameObject - [Unsafe] Unity API Root game object that will be added as a child when adding this element to another element. Same as GameObject for simple elements.
• RectTransform: RectTransform - [Unsafe] Unity APIRectTransform of RootObject (which is the same as GameObject for simple elements.
• Parent: Element - Parent element (inside which this element is).
• Tag: Object - Tag for general usage.
• Name: string - Optional name of the element/control. Returns type name if not assigned (null).
• Active: bool - Element is set to be visible/active. RootObject.activeSelf, RootObject.SetActive
• Visible: bool - Element is visible (and all parents are). RootObject.activeInHierarchy, RootObject.SetActive
• Width: float - Current width, redirects to PreferWidth when assigning.
• Height: float - Current height, redirects to PreferHeight when assigning.
• MinWidth: float - Minimal width if set to non-negative number (reads float.NaN otherwise, which means that the minimal width is not set - assigning negative number will have same result).
• MinHeight: float - Minimal height (same negative/float.NaN logic as above and for many below).
• PreferWidth: float - Preferred width if set (the layout will use this if possible).
• PreferHeight: float - Preferred height if set (the layout will use this if possible).
• FlexWidth: float - Flexible width if inside horizontal/vertical layout.
• FlexHeight: float - Flexible height if inside horizontal/vertical layout.

Static Methods:

• LoadIcon(): Texture2D, width int, height int, path string
  • [Unsafe] Load icon of specified dimensions as Texture2D from a file (from Resources directory or Resources.zip ).
